Operational Safety, Reinvented for Scale

Michael Zilinskas, CEO
Safety inspections are a critical part of every workplace, but not all of them work as intended. Inspections are completed, but results inevitably vanish into spreadsheets. Hazards are flagged, but nothing is followed up on. A checklist is posted, yet no one follows it. Across locations and teams, what should be routine becomes unreliable. Without a way to act, follow up, and learn in real time, these safety efforts lose momentum. As a result, risk and inefficiency start to rise.

That’s where ZERO steps in.

ZERO is a cloud-based EHS platform that helps companies manage safety operations with consistency and clarity by automating many common operational activities. It empowers employees to take ownership of safety by surfacing risks, enabling action, and reinforcing accountability across teams. The platform combines incident reporting, OSHA recordables, audits, and safety scoring through collaborative tools that help teams identify risks, share improvements, and build a proactive, engaged safety culture at every level of the organization. It brings consistency, and accountability to operational and safety processes. ZERO gives companies a clear visibility and confidence that every task is completed properly, followed up with action, and continuously improved.

“We integrate components under one platform that are traditionally found across multiple different software packages to improve efficiency and the ability to execute consistently,” says Michael Zilinskas, CEO.

The platform and integrated apps include customizable forms and checklists for inspections, CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) tools for issue resolution, and an incident manager that captures everything from injury details to root cause analysis. A built-in knowledge base allows companies to turn real incidents into teachable moments, distributing targeted training and ensuring employees engage with new safety learnings. A live dashboard guides users through what needs to be done next and transforms what used to be manual and disconnected into something continuous and actionable.

Whether it’s a supervisor on a factory floor or a technician underground in a mine, ZERO keeps them connected—even when offline. With mobile applications for iOS and Android, tasks can be performed and logged from anywhere, then synced automatically when connectivity returns. Administrators get a full view across all teams and locations, and best of all, implementation doesn’t require months of change management. Companies can start using the platform the same day, supported by over 200 ready-to-use business processes or customized workflows built through ZERO’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface.

What drives the platform’s evolution is simple—customer feedback. The team regularly adds features based on what users need most, such as license and certification tracking for roles that require compliance documentation. The goal is to digitize safety and operations and to make them seamless and sustainable. And when that vision becomes reality, the transformation is measurable—on both human and business levels.

The results speak for themselves. One convenience store chain with over 1,300 locations used ZERO to roll out cleaning and refrigeration protocols, along with structured communication to store clerks. Within months, issues related to slips, trips, and falls dropped by more than 50 percent. Even more impressive, the average time it took to resolve a reported issue fell from 31 days to just 3.

Another manufacturing client reduced its issue closure time from 28 days to 6 and saw an 85 percent decrease in workplace injuries—all while generating over $1 million in annual savings and a 19-times return on investment.

ZERO continues to grow. As new regulations emerge and operational complexity increases, the platform adapts to meet those challenges head-on. Its roadmap is shaped by frontline workers and safety managers who know what’s needed—and what’s missing—in the real world. ZERO’s mission is to give teams the tools to act quickly and confidently while building a safety culture that’s visible, shared, and built to last—leading to smarter decisions, safer workplaces, and stronger operations.
